Take some time out and read these

beautiful words carefully.

Later, reflect on what you have just
read.
Surely you will understand a lot of
things
... after some months at the
faculty of medicine, the
professor gave us a test.
Being a good student, I
quickly answered all the
questions all, but the last:
What is the baptism name of
the maid of our institute?


First Lesson
I handed over my test paper,
leaving the last question
unanswered. Just before the
lesson ended, another student
inquired if the last question would
be marked.
Certainly!", the professor replied.
You will meet many people in your
life. All of them will have some
degree of importance.
First Lesson
They will deserve your
attention, even if it is a simple
smile or a simple hello".
I never forgot this lesson
and went on to learn that the
baptism name of our maid
was Marianna.


First Lesson
Second Lesson
On a rainy, tempestuous night
a coloured woman was
standing on the roadside.
Her car had broken down and
she desperately needed help.
Wet to her core, she signalled
to the passers by.
Second Lesson
A white young man, as if unaware
of the racial conflicts that tore
apart America in the 60s, stopped
to help her.
He conducted her to a safe place,
called a mechanic and hailed a
taxi for her. The woman seemed
too much in a hurry, but did not
forget to thank him and take down
his address on a piece of paper.
Second Lesson
Seven days had already
passed when someone
knocked at the door of the
young man.
To his enormous surprise, it
was a courier with a huge
packet to deliver a big colour
TV along with a note: Many
thanks for helping me on the
road that night.

Second Lesson
The rain had completely
drenched me and my soul
when you appeared.
Thanks to you I was able to
reach my dying husband just
in time.
God bless you for having
helped me.
Sincerely,
Mrs. King Cole"

Third Lesson
Sometime ago, when the ice-
creams were not so expensive,
a ten-year old boy went to an
ice-cream parlour. While sitting
at the table, he asked the
waitress, How much does a
Sundae cost? 50 cents, she
replied.
The boy took out his money
from the pocket and began
counting it.
Third Lesson
Well, how much does a
simple ice-cream cost?".
There were other people
waiting to be served, so the
waitress began to get a little
impatient.
"35 cents!" she replied
abruptly. The boy counted his
money again and said: Please
get me a simple ice-cream!"

Third Lesson
The waitress served him the ice-
cream and his bill. The boy ate his
ice-cream, paid his bill at the cash
counter and left.
When the waitress went to clean the
table she began to cry for there, in
the corner of the plate, were 15
cents her tip.
The boy took a simple ice-cream
instead of a Sundae so he could
leave a tip for her.
If you have never experienced
the danger of war or the
solitude of imprisonment, the
agony of torture and hunger,
you are much ahead of the 500
million people who live in this
world.
If you have food in your
refrigerator, clothes to wear, a
roof on your head and a place
to sleep, you are richer than
the 75% of the people who live
on this Earth.
If you can go to your place of
worship without being
threatened, arrested, tortured
or killed, you are luckier than
the 3000,000,000 persons of
this world.
If you have money in your bank
account and your wallet and
some loose change in some
little box, you are one of the
worlds 8% well-to-do
population.
If you are able to read this
message, you have just
received a double blessing
one, someone is thinking about
you
two, you are not one of those
2000,000,000 people who are
illiterate!
Somebody said at some time:
Work as if you have no need
of the money.
Love as if nobody ever made
you suffer.
Dance as if nobody is
watching you.
Sing as if nobody is hearing
you.
Live as if the Paradise were
on this Earth.
Brighten up someones day!
